Definitions
- the invention relates to a printing process for use in printing branded packaging.
- Standard printing (eg, all magazine-printing) uses four standard printing inks called 'process colours'. These process colours are cyan, magenta, yellow and black, and they are mixed to produce the standard 'process' range of colours.
- 'Spot colours' are non-process colours, that is, colours which cannot be formed from the four standard printing inks. They are normally specified in colour systems such as the Pantone system, which consists of 1,114 predetermined selectable colours. However, sometimes a spot colour may be specifically developed on a bespoke basis.
- Spot colours are often chosen for use as 'brand colours' in branded packaging, that is, the colours which define a brand and help it to be differentiated from other brands, as they are less common than the process range of colours.
- the ink for each spot colour must be ordered separately. This means that many different printing inks are often required when printing branded packaging, thereby increasing costs.
- a first algorithm is applied to the image which is to be printed to quantise the image to about 2000 colours.
- a second algorithm is then applied to various combinations of paper and inks selected from the quantised image and an iterative process is used to place the various combinations in order in terms of printing performance.
- the gamut of printable colours obtainable for a particular combination of inks and paper is then calculated for the best performers
- US2003/007164 discloses a process which aims to improve the appearance of printing on unbleached corrugated cardboard packaging. This is done by using two transparent inks, and (optionally) a masking ink. The colours of the inks are selected by converting a red/green/blue image into a cyan/magenta/yellow image, selecting the two dominant colours in the resulting image and choosing the spot colours which are closest to those two colours for the transparent inks.
- the invention provides a process for use in printing a range of branded packaging, the process comprising the steps of:
- the colours of the inks which form the palette of inks at the end of the process are called the 'palette' colours.
- the identified inks may be listed in order of the decreasing importance of the colours of those inks to the brand.
- the inks which are allocated primary importance may be the inks having colours which define the brand. These colours are called the 'brand colours'. They are usually spot colours.
- the inks which are allocated secondary importance may be the inks having colours which are used in the text of the brand. These colours are called the 'brand text colours'. They are also usually spot colours.
- the inks which are allocated tertiary importance may be the inks having colours which are used in the general text and colour ways. These inks are usually spot colour inks, but this is not always the case.
- the inks having colours which are used in the graphical elements of the brand may be allocated either primary or secondary importance. These colours are called the 'graphical colours'. They are often inks from the range of process colour inks, but this is not always the case.
- spot colours will us usually be brand colours. These are the colours for which it is particularly important to achieve a close match. Four spot colour inks are usually selected.
- the most important process colours will be those colours which must be mixed to obtain the graphical colours identified in the brand. Three or four process colour inks are usually selected.
- steps b and d priority may be given to the inks having the colours which are most important to the brand. By including the inks having the most important colours in the palette of inks, it becomes possible to achieve the closest match for those colours.
- the spot inks selected in steps b and d may be altered to take into account the process inks which have been selected.
- the list of required colours specified in step c will usually correspond substantially to the colours of the list of identified inks. However, the required colours may be altered during step c. The required colours may be altered according to their order of importance in the list of identified colours. Thus, if necessary, one or more of the less important colours may be approximated or omitted if it seems that the inclusion of those colours will make it difficult to minimise the number of palette inks. The required colours may also be altered according to the difficulty in obtaining the colours. Thus, if necessary, one or more colours may be approximated or omitted if it is difficult to obtain, either because of the number of suppliers involved or the substrates and printing processes required. Usually, it will only become apparent that the list of required colours requires alteration once one or more groups of possible palette inks have been already tested.
- a first print run of inks identified in the audit was then carried out, and the colours of the printed inks were checked against the colours on approved current packaging using spectrography to ensure that the colours of the inks listed in the artwork match the approved colours.
- the colours of the inks were then listed in order of priority, starting with the brand colours, followed by the brand text colours and then the colours used in the general text and colour ways.
- the graphical colours may be listed with the brand colours or with the brand text colours, depending on their importance to the brand.
- the brand and brand text colours are usually spot colours, whereas the graphical colours are usually (but not always) in the process range of colours.
- the colours used in the general text and colour ways are usually spot colours, but again this is not always the case.
- the complexity of producing each colour is also listed
- 'Gretag Macbeth Color Picker' software is a known software package.
- Gretag Macbeth Inc. has now been acquired by X-Rite Inc.
- the Gretag Macbeth range has been re-branded, and the 'Gretag Macbeth Color Picker' software is now being sold by X-Rite under the name 'ColorPicker'. It can be obtained from the website www.X-rite.com.
- the 'ColorPicker' software provides an accurate display of measured and composed colours, showing how well colours can be reproduced by the output device.You can fine-tune colours in the source colour space (grey, RGB, CMYK and multi-colour) or device independent LCH space, as well as compare colour variations using ⁇ E, ⁇ E 94 and ⁇ E CMC calculations.”
- a provisional palette of up to 8 ink colours was entered into the software as La°b° values.
- the La°b° value for any colour can be obtained using a spectrophotometer.
- the palette will usually consist of 4 spot colour inks and 3 or 4 process colour inks.
- the spot colour inks were selected from the brand and text colours which have been identified in the audit, with the brand colours being given priority.
- the process colour inks were selected based on the graphical colours which have been identified in the audit. These two are interdependent, and the spot colour inks selected may vary depending on the process colour inks which have been selected.
- the software then calculates all the colours which can be obtained by mixing the palette colours. This is called the 'gamut'.
- the software compares each of the colours listed in the audit with the gamut to see how close a match can be obtained. For each colour, the software lists the various possible combinations of palette colours, together with a ⁇ E value, which indicates how close each combination is to the target colour.
- the user can then select a different set of palette ink colours to be tested by the software. This process can be repeated until a set of palette inks is obtained which will produce the required colours to within a specified maximum ⁇ E value.
- colours of low importance and/or high difficulty can be approximated or eliminated in order to assist in the choice of the palette inks.
- the palette was then profiled electronically on a press accurate proofing device to create the palette's gamut.
- the gamut was checked to ensure that it encapsulates all the required colours in a printable form, and, if necessary, fine tuned.
